Should I Be Worried For Sudden Raise In My BP?
Last night my bp spiked to 156/109 after coaching a basketball game. I felt dizzy, and flushed. Went home, checked it again, about an hour went down to 140/90. Checked it this morning 136/87. Should I be concern. I still feel alittle lightheaded, not much, but it's there. Other than that, I feel okay.

Hello ,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious disease specialist, answering your concern.
sudden rise in BP is the cause of concern.
I advice you to take your blood pressure done for atleast a week for daily.
If it shows the fluctuation than it s cause of concern, exact cause of this problem should be investigated there after.
Slight rise in BP at evening time is normal phenomenon but if it rises to extent causing headache than the reason should be investigated.
You can start the exercise on regular basis. Please start with low level exercise and once your system is adapted with the exercise start with high level of exercise. This will defiately help in the exercise.
I will be happy to answer your further concern you can contact me here or you can contact me on bit.ly/DrArun
